lol

lets start from the top

about 3 months ago, i topped the water up in the header tank, bit too much, anti pollution fault, limp home mode, drained some water, 2 days later it fixed its self

today, fuel light on, going to work, got 4 miles into my trip, eml comes on, anti pollution, car stalls, i turn it off, starts but eml still on, full power, gets 500yards down the road, cuts out again, so i checked the header tank, no water, opps http://www.406oc.co.uk/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif , topped that up, bleed it all ok, eml still on, full power got 300 yards down the road, splat dead again, turn off, turns back on, cuts out down the road 300 yards,
managed to stall into a car park , got my mate to come along with his reader, P0230 fuel pressure or something, clear it, eml off, full power, rag it around the car park for a bit, bing eml on, but tick over, went to pull away, stalled, after several hours of messing about, desided to take it home, 12miles 1 hour, cutting out and stalling every 300 yards,

the only sensor that wont throw up a code, unpluged it the AFM and the sensor ontop of the pump, these can be un plugged with no codes, http://www.406oc.co.uk/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

im hoping its just the low pressure fuel pump, or some ****ty fuel i put in my jerry can, for emergancy use that i used
there are some very fine and i mean very fine bits of silver in the filter, but the pump in pumping, it will start everytime, just keeps cutting out

Does sound fuel related - its squirting it when you fire it up - then once its used it up, it cuts out...

If it was an XE I would say FPR - but sounds pump related...

Baxter, one of my neighbours had a Citroen Xantia HDi and he said that the low pressure pumps on them are a weak spot. He replaced his twice in 12 months and always bought one to keep as a spare. I will try speak to him in the morning if you think its worth chasing up...
